Ancient artifacts or just antiques
Do you have any?

Well, about 11 years ago, my brither and my cousin were digging a whole in my cousin's backyard and they found some artifacts. I don't know if they are really artifacts of the mayan culture and I would really like to know.
I've gone to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City but I never had the opportunity to show them what I had.
Well, this are the pieces:

nice one

as far as I remember ....
a spearhead from the stone-age
a few medals and two barrets of the second war (through my grand-mom)
guess that's it

nothing, not my thing really I'd prolly give it away to someone who cares for it

I do

I really like what they found, but I don't know what to do with it

there's ppl and there's nerds guess which one you are

people, you're the nerd

I suggest that you take them down to your local museum or university anthropology/archaeology dept and ask if you want to know more about them - if they are indeed ancient artefacts you should be able to keep them if they are really common pieces but sometimes they like to keep them for research or recording at least but I wouldn't worry too much. Only if it's really valuable would they want to know all the details of where you got it, whose land it was etc but other then that it's always really cool to find things like that and preserve them even if just for your own pleasure

*volunteers eagerly*

sure if I ever find anything you can have it sweety

Jumpy hug

hehe nice

when i went to egypt i was at the pyrimids and i found some case with scriptons on it and cats. i opened it up and there was a closed in rod with a bunch of pictures and hyroglifics on it..very interesting. i still have it never told anyone about it

the closest thing I have for an Ancient thingy is a couple of coins dating back to war of 1812. Im thinkin of goin to the Road show to get an aprecial.

A whole lotta arrowheads and a branding iron that was used on a ranch by some ancestor of mine whose name escaped me when they were living on a ranch in The Dalles, Oregon.

Oh and then a couple of Byzantine coins I bought they're kinda cool

...And a couple of guns my dad has from the Civil War era, including a flintlock one (actually just a reproduction but still very cool)

I want the Antiques Roadshow to come here

Where is here?

ive got some roman coins. they are old, but theres a lot of them, so they aren't real valuble, but they are cool.
